What a bracelet! Is one to applaud or bewail it?

    I was earlier this morning reviewing new journals in our library and found a marvelous photo in the Jan. - Feb. 2022 issue of Minerva. It is a 19th c. set of bracelets featuring the 12 Caesars in gold! The photograph was featured in an article concerning an exhibition “God on Earth: Emperor Domitian” at the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden in Leiden. Quite a pair!

    Great looking bracelets, a little on the feminine side but if I had the chance I'd wear one! 112.gif

    Tandis que des médailles
    D'imperators
    Font briller à sa taille
    Le bronze et l'or
    ...

    (quote from a famous old French song of the 1960s, inspired by Edgar Poe's Raven, about a vision of Brigitte Bardot wearing a belt of Roman aurei and sestertii - :woot:)

    That would be a nice bracelet to wear while serving some fruit in this bowl:
